A big chain one. And guess what? You do pay for the bucket. <br />And the cups. What's in them is so cheap for the company, it's almost incidental. <br />Inventory is based on how many containers you have in stock, not how much pocorn or soda. <br />We had to have meetings to explain this to the kids, because it doesn't really make sense, but that's how the biz works. <br />So the kid at the counter was just doing his stupid, stupid job. <br /><br />Oh, and the theater building itself only makes money from the concessions. The ticket sales nearly all goes back to the studio, so, thus, $6.50 for a cardboard bucket. <br /><br />And now I'm even boring myself...Lily Catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17732112345439595471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004461851315310562.post-23394338893001242262009-06-06T14:02:45.550-04:002009-06-06T14:02:45.550-04:00imagine, if you will, bacon flavoured popcorn.imagine, if you will, bacon flavoured popcorn.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03620081445110803359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7004461851315310562.post-85476498226269537322009-06-06T09:22:10.697-04:002009-06-06T09:22:10.697-04:00Great gift idea!
